Platinum necklace – Exclusive, durable and hypoallergenic

A platinum necklace offers much more than just an elegant look. Platinum is known for its impressive durability, allowing it to retain its shape and shine longer than many other precious metals, including gold. Unlike gold, which is often mixed with other metals to increase its durability, platinum is almost completely pure (often 95%), making it both heavier and more durable.

Properties of platinum

• Durability : Platinum is significantly stronger than gold and is resistant to scratches and damage, making it a perfect choice for jewelry that is worn daily, such as necklaces.
• Color and Shine : Platinum has a naturally white, silvery tone that does not tarnish or need to be re-rhodium plated like white gold. This means that platinum necklaces retain their luster without requiring extra maintenance.
• Hypoallergenic : Because platinum is almost completely pure, it is one of the most hypoallergenic materials, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies to certain metals such as nickel, which is sometimes used in gold alloys.
• Weight and Feel : Platinum is approximately 60% heavier than gold, giving it a luxurious and solid feel when worn. Many appreciate this as a tangible symbol of exclusivity and quality.

The difference between platinum and gold

Platinum and gold both have their place in the world of jewelry, but they differ in several important ways:

• Durability : Platinum is harder and more resistant to scratches compared to gold, making it a better choice for everyday jewelry.
• Color : Gold often needs to be plated with rhodium to obtain a white color, while platinum has its natural white luster without the need for surface treatment.
• Maintenance : A platinum piece of jewelry needs significantly less maintenance than a piece of white gold, which may need to be re-rhodium plated over time.
• Value and Weight : Due to its density, platinum is heavier than gold, giving it a more luxurious feel. It is also more expensive due to its rarity and purity.
